Whether you like it or not (and I don’t), winter is officially upon us. The first snow fall came early this year along with the cold temperatures and unfortunately, cold and flu season. While my husband and I do our best to keep our boys healthy by giving them plenty to drink, providing them with healthy food, and washing their hands often, my sons were hit pretty hard with a virus this month. \u00a0In fact, this is the first winter my oldest son has been so sick; he’s been fighting a fever for two of the last three weeks. \u00a0It’s also his first year at school so he’s more exposed and susceptible to germs. \u00a0While I know it’s great for building his immune system, as a mom, there’s nothing worse than seeing your kids in pain. So, we decided to visit urgent care<\/a> services in downers grove for a checkup.<\/p>\n

I’ve taken a few extra steps these past few weeks to try to keep the bacteria and viruses around our house at bay. Whatever germs my older son brings home may eventually impact my other sons. \u00a0I taught him to sneeze or cough into a tissue or his sleeves or elbow, but that is not always top of mind for a four year old who often resorts to using his hand instead. \u00a0Since my youngest is only three months old, I want to do my best to ensure that the bacteria\u00a0do not\u00a0spread. One of those ways is using Lysol<\/a> to clean and disinfect surfaces and objects around the house that are used by my boys.<\/p>\n

\"lysol<\/a><\/p>\n

I use Lysol Disinfectant Spray\u00a0on toilet and sink areas, faucets and doorknobs. \u00a0I simply spray, let stand for 10 minutes and allow it to air dry before use. \u00a0The Lysol Disinfectant Wipes are great on our kitchen counter tops. While I often\u00a0use my son’s wipes for post meal cleanup, I’ve changed to Lysol since they are more effective at eliminating bacteria while cleaning. My boys are already pretty good about washing their hands frequently (they really enjoy it for some odd reason), but it’s always good to make it even more exciting. \u00a0They love our new No-Touch Soap Dispenser and will use any excuse to wash their hands. I keep one in our main floor bathroom which is where we spend most of our time at home. \u00a0It’s also\u00a0great for guests.<\/p>\n

\"Lysol<\/a><\/p>\n

Check out this great resource from Lysol for more great tips on cold and flu protection<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

If you want to get some Lysol Disinfectant products this holiday season,\u00a0grab this coupon<\/a>\u00a0for $1 off any\u00a0two Lysol products.<\/p>\n

This year, when we give my son’s teacher a holiday gift, I’ll also provide her with\u00a0a few Lysol goodies for her classroom as well. \u00a0I’m sure she’ll appreciate it and love it just as much as we do.<\/p>\n

\"Lysol<\/a><\/p>\n

This season, don’t forget to make Lysol a part of your overall family kit that you use to combat the cold and flu.<\/p>\n
